Ag Days 6k

Take part in a scenic race of a unique distance, perfect for a PR, on a paved trail with rolling hills through woods and along farmland, ending in the heart of Spring Valley in Willow Park near downtown.

Runners start on County Road 8 near the camper parking area east of Spring Valley. They take a turn into the camping area after a short distance and then follow the trail all the way to Willow Park near the pavilion. The 6k race is about 3.72 miles long.

Runners will meet from 7 to 7:40 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Willow Park, which is located just east of downtown, for the 8 a.m. race. Runners will board a bus at 7:45 a.m. for a shuttle to the camper parking area on County Road 8. The scenic trail has no intersections with public roads as it crosses over Spring Valley Creek several times and underneath Highway 16. There will be an aid station along the course plus refreshments at the end.

The first 50 people registering for the race will get a custom performance T-shirt. Trophies will be awarded to the overall male and female winners in the 6K race as well as for the top three males and females in age groups.

Advance, discounted registration at $25 goes through July 30.
